Ensign Hero as Mosquito Boat Sinks Second Jap Boat in Luzon Cox’s Daring Feat Is Second for U. S. In Subic Bay B the Associated Press. The sting of the United States *“mosquito fleet” has cost the Jap- anese another 5,000-ton vessel in the very same Philippine bay where an enemy craft of similar size was sent to the bottom only last week. ‘The Navy reported yesterday that Ensign George E. Cox, jr., 27, skip- pered his tiny eraft into Subic Bay, past net and boom defenses and in the face of heavy fire from shore batteries and machine ' guns, and sent his torpedo home. The exact character of the sunken vessel was not disclosed. Ensign Cox is a holder of the Croix de Guerre, French military decoration. He was awarded the medal during the summer of 1940 while a member of the American Volunteer Ambu- lance Corps which served with the French army. The award was made for service under fire. A Navy communique late yester- ;iay' announced Ensign Cox’s latest eat. Ensign Cox, whose home address was given as Watertown, N. Y., is & member of the Naval Reserve and & native of Niagara Falls, N. Y. A former student at the Univer- sity of Rochester and at Earlham College, he enrolled in the Reserve in December, 1940. After a three months course at the Reserve school at Northwestern University he was commissioned an ensign and re- ported immediately for active duty. Lt. Edward G. Delong, named in the communique as participating in the attack, is a native of Spring- field, S. Dak., 26 years old, and was appointed to the Naval Academy in June, 1933. He entered small boat service in February, 1941. The following March he was given command of Motorboat Submarine Chaser Divi- sion 3. He was detached from that duty in July last year and after a month’s instruction reported for duty with a motor torpedo boat di- vision and became squadron engi- neer. Also accompanying Ensign Cox was Lt. John D. Bulkeley, motor tor- pedo boat squadron commander, who only last week was commended for executing the first Subic Bay attack. Lt. Bulkeley, a Naval Academy gmguate. lives in Long Island City, N. Y. Mother Thrilled to Hear Of Ensign’s Daring Feat WATERTOWN, N. Y., Jan. 27 (®). =Ensign George E.
